RtI Collaborative Projects
Outcomes
Let’s celebrate… we’ve survived Year 1.
Commit to sharing ideas that worked at your schools.
Safe environment to “toot” your own horn today. It’s not bragging, it’s collaborative planning.
Keep a sense of humor.

BUILDING CONSENSUS“Terrible" Terry Tate enforces the office
rules at the Felcher and Sons' headquarters...
**Consensus Building Throughout the Phases
Organizing Framework for Change
Consensus Building
Why Continue RtI?
Consensus
Making the shift to a new paradigm, like RtI, does
not simply involve accepting a new set of skills. It
also involves giving up certain beliefs in favor of
others.

Response to Intervention
is Not a Dirty Word!
“RtI is Prereferral Interventions on Steroids”
True or False?People resist change…
National Association of State Directors of Special Education (NASDSE)
Myths About Response to Intervention
Implementation
“MYTH BUSTERS” Activity
“MYTH BUSTERS” Activity
Myth #1
The outcome and intent of RtI is identification, and therefore special education remains its
own entity that "occurs" subsequent to
"trying RTI."
“MYTH BUSTERS”
Myth #2 Tier 3 (or the last tier in a tiered model) is only special education.
“MYTH BUSTERS”
Myth #3 The major focus of RtI should be identifying students with Specific Learning Disabilities (LD). RtI can be used to “get rid of” those students who are not really LD, but who
were simply not achieving for other reasons.
.
“MYTH BUSTERS”
Myth #4
RtI is only pre-referral.
“MYTH BUSTERS”
Myth #5 Comprehensive evaluations do not change with RtI, so districts should continue to do traditional assessments.
“MYTH BUSTERS”
Myth #6 The research base for RtI is
limited to beginning reading. There are no research studies comparing RtI to traditional special education services.
“MYTH BUSTERS”
Myth #7 No contemporary research including student outcome
are available.
“MYTH BUSTERS”
Myth #8 The over-riding RtI model is
the 3-tier. general ed/remedial ed/special ed
model, so states should adopt it.
“MYTH BUSTERS”
Myth #9
Tier 2 is short-term, not the 10-30 weeks that exists in many RtI models.
“MYTH BUSTERS”
Myth #10 Because of “time to disposition” issues with longer Tier 2 interventions, the special education identification process will not fit into the RtI framework.
“MYTH BUSTERS”
Myth #11
Move slowly because the status quo is not that bad. Some tweaking is needed, but RtI can support the “traditional but tweaked” model.
Tip 1: A supportive & collaborative
environment takes the sting out of a mandate.
Rationale for Using RtI RtI is a way to help all students obtain the
appropriate instruction and intervention to improve their academic process.
RtI is a preventative approach that aims to identify struggling students before they fall too far behind their peers.
RtI is the model for Student/School Improvement.
RtI can tie every school initiative together and make it part of one goal…Improved Academic and Behavioral Student Outcomes.
Tip 2: RtI will work if it is
implemented as a School and Student Improvement Initiative
It will not work when implemented only to determine eligibility

Individual Problem Solving meetings are designed to be an extremely diagnostic and prescriptive process. The IPST fully engages in the Problem Solving Method at each stage. The IPST should examine prior intervention data and all relevant cumulative history in order to problem-solve at the most intense level. A student should not be referred to Individual Problem Solving Team if the problem is instructional, curricular, or environmental in nature.The criteria for a child to be referred from the Teacher Data Team to the Individual Problem Solving Team is that data must show a significant discrepancy between the student and the benchmark, a significant discrepancy between the student and their peers, and an insufficient learning growth rate from previous Tier 2 interventions. The reason students should not be referred to the Individual Problem Solving Team without meeting the discrepancy or growth rate criteria is because the IPST only handles individual learner-centered problems.
Gap Analysis:Divide the expected benchmark score by the current student performance. This is your benchmark comparison. Ex: 70% ÷ 35% = 2.0Divide the average peer performance by the student performance on the grade level. This is your peer grade level comparison. Ex: 81% ÷ 35% = 2.3 Divide the average performance score of a selected subgroup (such as SES) by the student performance. This is your Subgroup Peer Comparison. Ex: 65% ÷ 35% = 1.8Determine the Gain the student needs to make to close the GAP. To identify the necessary gain subtract the student’s current performance from the expected benchmark in the next benchmark period. Ex: 90 wpm – 56wpm = 34wpmNow evaluate the students growth as evidenced in progress monitoring data in comparison to the growth needed to close the gap. Determine what progress was realistic for the student. Assess the growth rate. Ex: If the expected growth rate for second grade students is 5 words per minute per week on oral reading fluency, then set your expected growth rate in accordance with that rate. Progress Monitor throughout the intervention. The team should assess whether the data shows the student/s are progressing sufficiently along the Aim Line.
1). Define the Problem The problem should be stated in objective measurable terms. The defined problem must focus on teachable skills.A problem is defined by the difference between what was measured and what was expected.2). Analyze the ProblemAsk “Why is the problem occurring?”Think of all relevant hypotheses3). Develop a PlanA good instructional/intervention plan:Explicitly defines the skills to be taughtFocuses on measurable objectivesDefines the who, what, when, where, and how of the interventionDescribes how the instruction/intervention will be progress monitored. Includes a Goal Statement and Aim Line with clear numerical measures that define success. A goal statement can be formed using steps 3 and 4 of the Gap Analysis process. Answer the question, “Is it working?”Modify Plan based on Progress Monitoring data:4). Evaluate the Plan:Continue on if the growth rate is adequateIncrease intensity, frequency, or duration if growth rate is improving, but not significantly enough.Change the intervention if the response is poor.

Types of Interventions Skill Deficit
◦ Student lacks skills to successfully complete task
Performance Deficit◦ Factors interfering with student’s capability of
performing the skill
Intervention Development:Verified Hypotheses
H: Only 55% of second grade students are achieving reading fluency benchmark because the curriculum lacks fluency focus.
P: If we modify the curriculum to focus on reading fluency, then more students will achieve benchmark.
Intervention: Modification of second grade curriculum to include more reading fluency focus
Intervention Development:Verified Hypotheses
H: Brandon is unable to stay in his seat because he lacks the self-monitoring skills necessary for self-control
P: If we teach Brandon self-monitoring skills, then he will display improved self-control.
Intervention: Self-instructional and self-monitoring training
Intervention Development:Verified Hypotheses
H: Ernesto is unable to complete arithmetic seatwork on time because he has not acquired math facts at the automatic level
P: If we provide Ernesto with strategies to increase fact fluency, then he will complete work on time.
Intervention:◦ Provide Ernesto with strategies to increase fact fluency◦ Provide Ernesto more time until strategies to increase
fact fluency have had time to work
Trying to accurately pinpoint the reasons why a student is struggling in school and to design an effective intervention plan without good data is like the pilot who tries to fly across an unknown continent without navigation instruments.

Carousel Brainstorm
Decision Rules: What is a “Good” Response to Intervention?
Good Response◦ Gap is closing◦ Can extrapolate the point at which student will “come
in range” of peers – even if this is long range Questionable Response
◦ Rate at which gap is widening slows considerably, but gap is still widening
◦ Gap stops widening but closure does not occur Poor Response
◦ Gap continues to widen with no change in rate of progress
Problem-Solving/Response to Intervention Key Issues
Data drives decisions Time is our ally and our enemy
◦Early Intervention and Prevention Its all about the rate of student progress
in the amount of time remaining Data collection WITHOUT intervention
integrity is useless Staff, resources, and time must
match the demand
Progress Monitoring via Data Boards
Progress MonitoringThe RtI Problem-Solving Model requires reliable information about the student, and lots of it.
Lack of quality data = guessing blindly
Jim Wright, RtI TOOLKIT (Chapters 5 & 6)
Formative data ◦ Administered and collected frequently◦ Provides a moving picture of the student’s
progress over time◦ What are some examples?
Summative data◦ Static information that provides a fixed snapshot◦ Historical data◦ What are some examples?
Assessment: First Look
Assessment: Second Glance 1. Screening Assessments – assessments used to determine if additional investigation is
warranted Answers the question: is there a possible problem? Examples: FCAT, FAIR etc.
2. Diagnostic Assessments: more in-depth analysis of a student’s strengths and weaknesses
3. Progress Monitoring Assessments: Sensitive to small increments of growth
Examples include Running Records, PASI, PSI, ORF, FAIR OPM
Aids in the analysis of inadequate progress and how to intensify instruction
Documents Progress for RtI Model◦ Amount of time student received intervention◦ Size of group◦ Changes made to intensity◦ Refer for evaluation
Why Keep an Intervention Log?
Intervention Documentation Worksheet
Support decision making such as whether to: Continue
Change or
Adjust Instruction
What Is The Intent Of Progress Monitoring?
Must match intervention/instruction Should be a quick tool Curriculum Based Measurement – Short,
quick probes based on skills
Examples:◦ Running records◦ PASI◦ PSI◦ Math Probes
Key 1: Choose a Progress Monitoring Tool
Assess as often as needed to inform instruction Varies by Tier
◦ Tier 1 – 3 to 4 times a year◦ Tier 2 – 2 to 3 times a month◦ Tier 3 – Weekly◦ Monitoring frequency increases with instructional
intensity.
Serves a multifunctional purpose◦ Establish a baseline◦ Identify growth◦ Measure performance over time
Key 2: Establish a Progress Monitoring Schedule
CYCLE = ______ WEEKS
Interventionist should always collect the data
Allows for test taking behavior to be taken into consideration
Some schools build time into intervention schedule for progress monitoring
Don’t ignore valuable informal assessments like observing, conferring etc. to inform instructional planning
Key 3: Identify the Individual to Conduct the Progress Monitoring
Use results to inform instruction
Data should be graphed to provide a visual illustration of where students began (baseline), where we want them to go (targetline), and performance over time (trendline)
Key 4: Interpret the Progress Monitoring Results
